Netsaint0.0.7-> Nagios2.0b4 (Contact group changes - The contact_groups directive has been moved from hostgroup definitions to host definitions.)

[Declan McKay]

Hi Andrea,

Thank you very much for your quick reply. Two Questions:-

1. Which script should I use?

2  Should I use the Netsaint0.0.7 cfg files as my input to the script or should I use the files created by the "Nagios Config file 
Converter"?

Thanks again.

Declan.
